Stabilization Of Wages By
Board Held Deadly Peril
To Collective Bargaining
Pay Stabilization Labor's Reward?
The federation points out that or
ganized labor lias made an outstanding
contribution to the war effort by re
fraining from strikes, by giving up
double pay for overtime, by shoulder
ing the job of war production and turn
ing out fighting equipment at a rate
unequalled anywhere in the world. It
asks if wage stabilization by govern
ni4»ii fiat is to be labor's reward and if
labor is to he asked for further sacri
fices without first seeing that other
groups make equal sacrifice.
"Such procedure would be beyond
all reason," it llatly declares.
Discussing the question as to wheth
er the President's program of equal
sacrifice has been carried out, the fed
eration finds that it has not, notably
in the fields of taxation and stabilize
tion of farm prices.
Proposal Kxnise to 'Freeze' Pay
It goes on to charge that "employers
have seized upon the President's pro
posal to stabilize wages as an excuse
to stop all wage Increases."
"To check wage Increases when liigl
incomes and profits are not bearim
their fair share of taxation, and when
no effort has yet been made to carry
out the President's program is unfair
discrimination against labor.
"Is this a plan to force labor into a
subordinate position in the American
nation? What is the basis for think
iug the millionaire will sjiend his in
come for anti inflationary purposes and
that wage earners cannot be ,trusted?
Are only the rich to Ie allowed
manage their lives iml income*?
Fair Share to All lleld Solution
(living of a fair .share to all by
democratic procedures Is the solution
says the federation, going on to assert
"War industries are operating wit I
large margins and big profits and nn
less collective bargaining gives a fair
share to all contributing to prodm
tion, an Ingrowing sense of Injustice
begins gnawing on the will to cooper
ate.
•Inflation is not prevented by limit
ing the amount of money going to wag
incomes. If wages are taken out of tin
field of negotiations between employer
and employes, what will be left to col
lective bargaining when Its most vital
element Is gone? To destroy collect Iv
bargaining Is to strike at the heart of
democracy in this country. It must bf
kept intact for the future, it has been
maintained in Great Britain. It was
abolished in Germany, unions w ere dt
Hroyed, I lie result was totalitarianism
Wage Ceiling Nut Inflation Solution
Summing up, the federation nays
"The danger of inflation which
threatens every worker, every family
is a very real danger. I tut the answer
Is not to impose a wage ceiling and
hamstring collective bargaining. Tht
answer must be full rounded, Includ
ing all groups. It involves the use of
income, not Its acquisition.
••(live labor the facts so that unions
can act intelligently at the conference
table.
"Give labor representation with gov
eminent agencies. Government by ex»
cutive order is dangerous unless tin
Voice of the people is heard

AFL Scores Government Pay Dictation
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Collective bargaining is threat
ened by the movement to "stabilize" wages, the American Federa
tion of Labor charges in its latest monthly economic survey, mak
inga slashing attack on the wage stabilization idea, as it is now
being pushed by the Federal government.
"The drive to 'stabilize' wages threatens to substitute deci
sions by government boards for free collective bargaining, and to
dictate a policy of no wage increases," the federation declares.
"To stifle collective I:irgaining." it
adds, "is to destroy tin* free labor
movement of America. Is wane policy
to ho dictated by a government board
instead of being formulated by unions
and managements?"
"If wages are to be taken out of
the field of negotiations between em
ployer and employes, what will be left
of collective bargaining when its most
vital element is gone?" the federation
further asks.

Kaymond Burlier L. F.
Chicago (ILNS).—A parade of last
fling drivers will jam the nation's
highways over the Fourth of July, the
National Safety Council predicts.
The council believes that the threat
of nationwide gasoline rationing, plus
the long holiday week-end, will prompt
motorists by the thousands to make
that trip to Aunt Minnie's, to visit ,the
boy in camp, or to see Susie's new
baby while they still have the chance.
Big Traffic Volume
Added to these last-fling pleasure
drivers will be a legion of war plant
workers who will stay on the job this
Fourth of July, many of whom will be
driving to and from work.
Contrary to general expectations, the
net result will be a traffic volume only
slightly less than in normal years, in
the council's opinion.
Backing up its prediction, the coun
cil is launching a nationwide campaign
igainst accidents that will result from
the heavy traffic and other recreational
activities. The need for a safe celt
bration of the Fourth is especially
lcnte this year, since every accidem
wastes manpower, time and material
vital .to victory.
